This is the building I'm staying in tonight. I splurged on a private room with bath for 25€. Then I got an hour massage. I'm feeling very relaxed now.

Hope it's been modernized a bit inside. In any case, what a thrill.

This is where many people start the Camino because it's just over 100 km from Santiago, and in order to receive a Compostela you must walk the last 100 km. That means that the Camino will probably beЧитать далее
